Lotions/ Creams -Unlisted Brand - Mountain Ocean - Skin Trip Coconut Lotion
rholb 4/9/2010 11:37:00 PM
I purchased this lotion after reading the good reviews and I am so happy I did! I have keratosis pilaris (chicken skin) on my arms and I had yet to find a lotion that would help my skin. Everything I tried was either to heavy and sticky or not moisturizing enough. This was an answer to my prayers! It hasn't cured the bumps on the back of my arms by any means but it smooths them and makes them less red/purple and noticeable. It is really runny, but a little goes a long way. It's not heavy, greasy, sticky, or tacky at all. It gives my arms and legs a nice sheen and is really moisturizing and I don't have to reapply! It is light but moisturizing and absorbs quickly into my skin, leaving it baby soft. It also doesn't transfer onto your clothes, which is plus.The smells is the perfect blend of coconut smell IMO, not like suntan lotion, but not the fake sweet smell either and it's not overpowering, just leaves a nice lingering scent I can smell a little throughout the day. It is pricey but well worth it to me. I highly recommend!

Lip Treatments -eos - Lip Balm
rholb 4/9/2010 11:19:00 PM
I purchased this lip balm from drugstore.com because I searched high and low for it everywhere and could not find it. I have the Summer Fruit Sphere and the Sweet Mint Lip Balm (in the tube). I do prefer the tube over the sphere, because it is more practical. The packaging on both of them is nice but it is a little rubbery so it picks up dirt, which I don't love but I can wipe it off easily. I love the mint one, it is by far my favorite. I love that it is larger than your average size lip balm, so it will last a long time. It has a nice cooling effect. The smell to me almost smells like sweet mint gum. It lasts a long time on my lips and has a nice silky feel without wearing off quickly. The summer fruit one is my least favorite. At first it smells like Peachy gummy fruit candy, but then it has a weird smell as it dies down. It feels more like wax on my lips and seemed to dry them out more and I had to keep reapplying. If you are debating on which one to get I would recommend the Sweet Mint :)

Lip Treatments -Badger - Highland Mint Lip & Body Balm
rholb 4/9/2010 11:07:00 PM
I ordered this from drugstore.com after reading all of the great reviews on their website. It was really pricey, I think I paid $5 for it. I am glad I bought it, but next time I will go to Good Earth and purchase it for $3 less. I have the one that is in the form of chapstick. I love this lip balm it is really moisturizing, has a nice minty herbal scent, may be a tad bit more herbal than minty, but doesn't overwhelm. It also leaves a nice cooling effect on my lips. It lasts for a decent amount of time. I put it on at night and my lips are still soft and moisturized in the morning. It also has a nice glossy sheen to as well. I loved this lip balm so much that I went back to purchase more in other scents, I bought Pink Grapefruit and Tangerine Breeze. I wasn't satisfied with either of those. So I will stick with the Highland Mint and purchase more when I run out. I hope this review helps :)

Lip Treatments -Badger - Sweet Orange Cocoa Butter Lip Balm Stick
rholb 4/9/2010 10:54:00 PM
I love this lip balm! I purchased it the other day, hoping that it would have a nice chocolate-orange scent and it does! It smells exactly like the chocolate-orange covered jelly sticks that I get around Christmas time :) The texture is nice, it's not super thick, but not to thin you have to reapply every 1/2 hour. The lip balm is bigger than your regular size lip balm, and I like that the twist mechanism to move the lip balm up is at the top instead of the bottom. It is a little pricey for a lip balm but it will last a long time. I would repurchase again for sure :)

Lip Treatments -Badger - Tangerine Breeze Lip Balm
rholb 4/9/2010 10:46:00 PM
I wasn't really impressed with this lip balm. I had recently purchased the Badger lip balm in Highland Mint and I love it! So of course I had to come back for more. I purchased the Tangerine Breeze and also Pink Grapefruit, and I wasn't really satisfied. There was almost no smell to them, I could hardly even smell a hint of Tangerine. The consistency was a little different, not as glossy as the Highland Mint, but not a huge difference. Maybe I just got an old one? They are good lip balms but I was expecting a lot more of a scent, like the Highland Mint. If you are looking for a good lip balm that smells like Tangerine or Pink Grapefruit I highly recommend Zum Kiss lip balms by Indigo Wild, they are HG in my opinion :)
